Election campaigns and library funding may seem to contrast, but for public libraries, the political arena can be an essential avenue to strategic and proactive financing. Sweeney and Chrastka demonstrate a novel mindset meant to empower patrons to choose how to support publicly funded libraries. Libraries would campaign to gain yes votes at the election polls to support library goals. The authors provide comprehensive instructions for a library election campaign, including facing opposition and guiding patrons toward exercising influence over the library through their election choices. The emphasis of this book is on best practices to help the reader through this difficult yet effective way of gaining and maintaining library funding through political action. Highly recommended for public libraries and any library that receives partial or full public funding.
